Rising Astrological Signs

From LoveToKnow Horoscopes

Rising astrological signs have a lot to do with how others perceive you, your style and your appearance.

The Importance of Rising Astrological Signs

The importance of rising astrological signs cannot be overstated in a birth chart. Few aspects in an astrological chart give others in your life as much information about the way you see the world as the rising sign does. Think about it this way. If your sun sign is who you are, the foundation or the church of your beliefs, then the rising sign is the stain glass window through which you see that world. Therefore, the rising sign at your time of birth completely colors, or influences, how you see your surroundings and how others see you.

In a nutshell, rising astrological signs act as calling cards. They announce to the universe, “Here I am”. Keep in mind, you could be the most bullish of Taureans or the most liberal of Aquarians, but if you have, for example, Cancer rising, all people will say is, “She’s so sweet”. That’s how it works.
